Birchbox Breakdown

The problem: You're a fan of the slicked back, rockabilly-inspired 'do—but you dont want to look like a used-car salesman. The solution: This lightweight pomade. Its water-soluble formula lends smoothness, shine, and definition while keeping strands firmly in place—minus any of the grease-monkey effect.

How to Use

Apply to fingertips, then work into wet hair for that polished, Fred Astaire-like do. Or use on dry hair to add texture and shine.

Upvoted

I got the sample and used every last drop so I had to buy the full size. It has a really pleasant but not overwhelming smell to it. It won't interfere with your signature scent if you have one. Not a ton of hold, not a ton of shine but keeps things generally in place and helps combat frizz.

Try using it more than once, it'll grow on you

i wasn't a fan of the smell at first, but as I used it more it grew on me. It doesn't overpower your senses. The functionality of the product as well is incredible, talk about a mold that doesn't over grease your hair and keeps it in place.

Pretty good

I've never used pomade before as I always use coconut oil. My hair is pretty straight and short so i don't need a lot of product. This stuff smells decent and works good. I don't know if I'd buy it but I'm definitely going to use it.

Nice hold, somewhat irritating

I used a dab of this a few times after a shower for my normal workday 'do. Hold lasted all day and definitely delivers on the matte aspect. Negatives are that it's a bit hard to work with on dry hair, you really have to spread it around first or you'll get uneven application. Also, my scalp felt quite a bit drier when using this product.
